● DIP1000 E-Literacy for Contemporary Society● DIP1001 Academic and Professional English● DIP1002 Strategies for Successful Study● DIP1004 Mathematical Literacy

DIP1000 E-Literacy for Contemporary Society and DIP1002 Strategies for Successful Study are co-requisites:they must be studied together, and they must be the first courses undertaken.

For part-time students, DIP1001 Academic and Professional English and DIP1004 Mathematical Literacymust be studied after DIP1000 and DIP1002. All four courses can be taken in a single semester for thosepursuing full-time studies.

Foundation studies in Social Science courses

After completing the four compulsory courses students can select four courses from the following selection:

● CDS1000 Community Welfare and Development● CDS1001 Human Relations and Communications● CDS2000 Ethical Issues and Human Rights in the Human Services● PSY1010 Foundation Psychology A● PSY1020 Foundation Psychology B● PSY1030 Cross-Cultural and Indigenous Psychology● SOC1000 Approaches to the Social Sciences● ANT1001 Introductory Anthropology

Program completion requirementsTo successfully complete the Diploma of Social Studies Foundations students must successfully complete thefour compulsory core courses, and also the four social science foundation courses.

Required time limitsStudents have a maximum of three years to complete this program.

IT requirementsStudents must have reliable and ready access to email and the Internet. Broadband access is required for thefour compulsory core courses. Students should have access to a scanner for DIP1003 Essential Mathematics.For information technology requirements, please see the minimum computing standards

Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, external or online), regardless of theprogram mode of study they enrolled in.

Students undertaking the Diploma of Social Science Foundations must complete the four compulsory coursesfirst. The recommended enrolment pattern for the four compulsory core courses is as follows:
